TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- The newest members of the University of Alabama's theater and dance department will show off their skills in a Freshman Showcase this weekend, Jan. 24-25.

The fifth annual showcase, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at the Allen Bales Theater, is designed to show off the skills students have learned in their first year at the Capstone.

“The experience has been marvelous,” Daniel Hulsizer, a freshman musical theater student, said in a UA press release. “It’s amazing to show and perform what our awesome professors have helped us achieve. UA theatre and dance is a family that I’m very thankful to be a part of.”
